Create easy-to-thread bracelets and rings with Elasticity's 0.50 mm black elastic thread, perfect for soft, discreet creations.
This fine Elasticity elastic thread is a sure bet for creating stretchy, comfortable jewelry that's quick and easy to make. Its black color makes it more graphic and blends naturally with darker compositions, or on the contrary, creates a sharp contrast with light beads. This 0.5 mm diameter is well suited to light settings, provided youadapt the size and material of the beads: choose beads up to 6 mm if they are made of plastic or metal, and up to 5 mm if they are made of gems, ceramic or glass, which are heavier and more abrasive. To improve the jewel's hold and limit the risk of breakage, remember to pre-stretch the wire before you start: this stabilizes elasticity and reduces relaxation after several wears.
